Korean Delicatessen

Although the staff may come off as unpleasant and pushy at times, the local Korean style food is very good. Not the besr place to sit and eat but the take out plates are superb. Your guests will not be disappointed if you order the party platters. The Korean fried chicken wings are one of the best on the island.

Got two good plates of food here: one of the better meat juns we've had, and a plate of surprisingly good mochiko chicken. There could have been a bit more meat jun for the price we paid, but offsetting that was their deal to add four excellent mandoo to a plate for under $2. Veggies were good with a decent variety. Service was a bit underwhelming, but maybe she'd just had a hard day.

This super popular deli on Nuuanu Avenue is my go-to place for filling Korean favorites like kalbi, fish Jun, mandoo, and barbecue chicken. You can also get chicken or tofu katsu. I miss the choy sum ban chan, but there’s still pickled cucumbers, bean sprouts, broccoli, Kim chees, long rice, and shoyu potatoes. And, of course, the ubiquitous mayonnaise-y mac salad I grew up eating and loving.

Not just "another Korean BBQ restaurant". Although owned and run by a Korean lady, there were a lot of great modifications to the type of meat and the prep, marinade and spices. It turns out to be fantastic and unique. Even though it is a hole in the wall this place has survived Covid19 and I believe will continue for a very long time due to the following; QUALITY and TASTE. If you ever want to check out a Korean restaurant's food quality order spicy pork or Korean Miso soup. Same theory as ordering Pad thai in a Thai restaurant. If their signature dish is bad, go elsewhere.
